Probably off his head anyway given that this was towards the end of his life.<br /><br />Here's a bit about the writing of I Saw the Light, Trevor, sounds like he might have been influenced by Lights of Home - "One night on the way home from a concert, Hank was looking for a landmark that would let him know they were close to home and he saw the radio tower that was in Montgomery and began writing the hit song "I Saw the Light". This song seems to simply be based on Hank finding a landmark that would tell him he is close to home."<br />or<br />"We was drivin' back from doin' a show in Georgiana [Alabama], and I was drivin' and Hank had his head in my lap, and he said, 'Oh, Mamma, I'm tired, so tired, but I know we're almost home because I saw the light.'" The light he mentioned was from the beacon at the airport.<br /><br />Doesn't sound like he was saved one way or the other...<br /><br />In fact, there is a load of great stuff on this song here - http://www.paulcastlemusic.com/i-saw-the-light.html It gets better and better.Séamus Dugganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574186409184247059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500794647428701667.post-80206278540770502782013-02-02T11:30:37.789+00:002013-02-02T11:30:37.789+00:00Another smart choice Seamus.
